Unmaintained Hyundai Accent [1998] 1.3 GL POV Test Drive

[@panayiotissofianopoulos2523]

I have yet (2024), an Accent that I bought new in 1998. When it was new, back in 1998, it sold a lot in Greece ; while it was not the best car (other brands cars were a little bit more fuel consumtion efficient, had better accelaration, better final speed etc, but those were much more expensive) because back then, Hyundai was a new player in cars, however it became a best seller because it was really inexpensive and offered a lot for its cost (highly VFM), it had low gazoline consumption (for its time), nice technical features and driving performance, and it was spacy. You saw many Accents in the roads, back then. The car although it was was inexpensive, proved to be extremely reliable on the long term ; maybe the Koreans wanted to gain a share and reputation as a new player, and they offered a really good "family" car, in a very competitive price. All these years I have confronted minor issues, non importants, few, but I also don't "press" the car, I drive smoothly and gently. And I like a lot its curves design. The later Accent models, may had some mechanical improvements but were ugly, instead of beautiful. I like this car and I don't want to change it, because it serves me very well.

el coche era muy difícil de conducir debido al mal mantenimiento :)

Tienes que tener en cuenta que el vehículo podría estar en mal estado, tal como dice en el título, además hay vehículos que son muy incómodos de conducir pero eso no lo sabrías a menos que lo estuvieras manejando tú.
